Install OADP Operator using OperatorHub

Install the OADP Operator

You can install the OADP Operator from the Openshift's OperatorHub. You can search for the operator using keywords such as oadp or velero.

OADP-OLM-1

Now click on Install

OADP-OLM-1

Finally, click on Install again. This will create namespace openshift-adp if it does not exist, and install the OADP operator in it.

OADP-OLM-1

Create credentials secret

Before creating a DataProtectionApplication (DPA) CR, ensure you have created a secret cloud-credentials in namespace openshift-adp.

Make sure your credentials file is in the proper format. For example, if using AWS, it should look like:

[<INSERT_PROFILE_NAME>]
aws_access_key_id=<INSERT_VALUE>
aws_secret_access_key=<INSERT_VALUE>

Note: Do not use quotes while putting values in place of INSERT_VALUE Placeholders

Create the secret:

$ oc create secret generic cloud-credentials --namespace openshift-adp --from-file cloud=<CREDENTIALS_FILE_PATH>

Create the DataProtectionApplication Custom Resource

Create an instance of the DataProtectionApplication (DPA) CR by clicking on Create Instance as highlighted below:

Velero-CR-1

The Velero instance can be created by selecting configurations using the OCP Web UI or by using a YAML file as mentioned below.

Finally, set the CR spec values appropriately, and click on Create.

The CR values are mentioned for ease of use. Please remember to mention default: true in backupStorageLocations if you intend on using the default backup storage location as shown below.

Verify install

  • Verify the DPA has been reconciled successfully:

    $ oc get dpa dpa-sample -n openshift-adp
NAME            RECONCILED   AGE
dpa-sample      True         2m51s

    Note: RECONCILED column must be True.

  • To verify all of the correct resources have been created, the following command oc get all -n openshift-adp should look similar to:

    Note: The node-agent Pods are created only if using restic or kopia in DPA.

    Note: The node-agent Pods are labeled as restic in older installations.
